improved Comparator to use children names when name is null #30

Closed fjouault closed 1 year ago

fjouault commented 1 year ago

When several tables have a null name, the previously used localIdGetter would make comparison fail. This new version tries to work around this issue by using children (i.e., column) names.

Like the previous localIdGetter, this is still specific to the Relational metamodel, and is still fragile. However, it might be enough for this case.

The best solution I know of would be to leverage trace links (see issue #25). However, this would make it necessary for all submissions to serialize them, which is not currently considered.

Instead of returning a concatenation of children names, it may be better to return a non-ordered set, so that children ordering is ignored.
